Quorn Andamooka

Andamooka and Quorn are two South Australian towns located about 227km apart. Andamooka is sparsely populated, with far more people born overseas (16.9% compared to 6.3% in Quorn) and a much higher share of people living alone (51.2% versus 39.6%). While Andamooka has better access to groceries and schools within a short walk, Quorn is more likely to have homes with three or more bedrooms (75.3% compared to 50.4% in Andamooka) and better access to parks, public transport, and health services.

Both areas are almost identical in their typical monthly mortgage payments, which are $867. They also share similar rates of one-parent families and a lack of residents who speak little or no English. However, the gap in home ownership has shifted since 2011, with Andamooka now far higher in homes owned outright. Similarly, the typical age of residents is now noticeably older in Andamooka, though both towns sit far above the national figure for age.
